Chapter 120: Hot spring

"This is the hot spring in Almo Village..." Feeling the wonderful feeling of soaking in the mineral-rich hot spring water, Heliga leaned contentedly on the rock by the pool, his feet gently swinging up and down, and the water surface burst into waves. Bursts of foam.
"Yeah. Originally there would be no such resources here... It was the water pump group designed by Dr. Russell that pumped up the hot springs below, and only then did the current status of the tourist resort of Almo Village." Nod.
"That's it..." Thinking of the sulphur smell that was caused by mechanical failure when he first walked into the village, Heliga sighed, "Such a huge machine module can be repaired by Tida alone..."
"Yeah... Thanks to her, we have the opportunity to enjoy this warm spring water after weary work." Joshua changed a more comfortable posture, "Imperial Hot Springs...Does Heliga know anything? ?"
"Well... the most famous town is the northern town, Yumir, a hot spring town." Heilijia thought for a while, "but the hot springs there are said to be natural hot springs instead of relying on manual machines like this."
"Supposedly? Haven't you been there yourself?"
"No. Umir is in the northernmost part of the empire, and can only be accessed from Luray's mountain trails or the exclusive mountain cable car. The traffic is not very convenient, and it is too far from my hometown... But my home There is a very beautiful lake over there. Although there is no experience of soaking in hot water in the cold winter, swimming in the cold lake in the midsummer heat is also a pleasant memory. "Think of hometown, those familiar names and figures once. It flashed again—parents, teacher Alside, everyone in the town, and—Laura.
"That's it..." Seeing Heliga enter the quiet mode, it seemed to be thinking of something, Joshua didn't ask much, and there was a brief silence between the two. But after a while, the sound of Heliga's water broke the silence.
"Heliga?"
"Nothing... Sorry... Maybe this indoor bathroom is a little lack of oxygen, which makes me a little dizzy... I'll go to the outdoor bathhouse for a while."

"Ah... that's right! I have a question for Sister Esther." At the same time, the girls were also having private conversations in the women's bathroom. Tida was a little dizzy by the heat, her cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly towards Estiel.
"What? Sister can answer any questions~" Esther said with a confident smile and touched Tida's little head.
"Um...that's...that..." Tida suddenly became a little bit twisted, "Are Sister Estiel and Brother Joshua married?"
"..." The air suddenly solidified, and it seemed that even the sound of the steam solidifying into a liquid state could be heard clearly.
"Wh, wh, wh... how come there is such a thought!?" Estil yelled without hesitation, and Tida shook with fright.
"Because... that..." Tida said in a panic and embarrassed manner, "because, because you share the same surname... and you don't look like brothers and sisters, I thought it must be..."
"It's not like we're not related by blood!" Estil explained depressedly, "The same last name is because Joshua is the adopted son of my father!" She turned to the silver-haired girl watching the play dissatisfiedly. , "Fei, too, he knows these things, why don't you help me explain it!"
"Um~ because it looks so funny~" Fei narrowed his eyes and said badly, "and, Estelle and Joshua are indeed very married~"
"Huh? Really?" Tida's interest was brought up again.
"Yeah, Tida." Fei also touched Tida's head, half jokingly said: "When I first met them, they ate together in a village near Lu'an, and then... …"
"I've said it all! Joshua and I are not lovers at all!" Stretching out our hands, Esther walked away completely, "It's just family, family!"
"Um... Sister Estelle keeps saying that, but... You are always together, getting along so naturally and so warmly, it feels as if the two of you are communicating with each other..."
"Yes, that is obviously the tacit understanding between the old couple and the old wife." The Baimao Tucao team continued to go online.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Bowed his head in submission.
"Hey... I'll be out for a while, it's a bit boring here." Feeling that she was too much to molest Estiel, Fei slightly patted Estir's shoulder apologetically, rolled up her towel, and walked out of the women's bathroom.
"Ah, that... Sister Fei..." Looking at Fei who had already walked out the door, Tida was stunned for a moment before remembering something, "The open-air bath is..."
It's just that the white-haired girl couldn't hear the whispered reminder behind Tida, "Mixed bathing..."

"Huh..." Looking at the stars that were already full of the night sky, Hailijia let out a sigh. When getting along with Joshua, some uncomfortable feelings entangled him. This is not a problem with Joshua, but there is indeed something in Joshua...a breath that makes him feel disgusted.
"What the is going on?" Heliga racked his brains and thought hard. In the recent period, to be precise, since arriving at Libel, various accidents have occurred frequently.
But when he was thinking about things, he didn't notice that the door of the other bathroom opened gently.
"...Fei?" Hearing Heilijia's very familiar, light, lightly moving voice in the water, the boy relaxedly said: "Huh? Fei? You also come to the open-air hot spring? Let me say yes, you can't swim here. what."
"..." The footsteps suddenly stopped. At this moment, the distance between the two was close enough, and Heliga could already see the familiar petite figure on the opposite side through the thick steam.
"...The effect of this hot spring can be said to be very good. For people like us who engage in long-distance walking all day, it is really too effective. If you can encounter a place with hot springs in the future, you must try it without landing. ."
"..." Fei remained silent.
Suddenly a cool breeze blows, and the mist covering the hot water disperses a lot.
"That one……"
"Heliga, please explain..."
"Hey...hey, Fei..."
Heliga, saw something that might crash his brain instantly.
"Explain it!"
"Why, why would you bring a dagger when you take a bath! And can you wrap the bath towel first!"
Afterwards, the sound of huge fighting, and the incoherent voice of the young man’s defense, resounded throughout the hot spring village.

P.S: Day...Daily plot? This routine should be regarded as the standard ending...
P.S2: In the original work, this is a place to give Aiyo a good impression, but because the protagonist of this book is not the two of them, this privilege is transferred to the protagonist duo (
P.S3: Can anyone guess why the protagonist feels uncomfortable when he is alone with Joshua? There is a foreshadowing ahead.
